    Epiglass® Multipurpose Epoxy Resin ABOUT THE AUTHORS ROGER MARSHALL For eight years award winning author Roger Marshall has been the technical editor for Soundings magazine where his articles are read by about 250,000 people each month. Marshall’s experience as a writer spans for many years. His work has appeared worldwide as well as the New York Times, Daily Telegraph (UK), Sports illustrated, Sail, Cruising World, Motor Boating and sailing, Yachting and many other newspapers and magazines. Marshall is also the author of twelve marine related books, two of which were translated into Italian and Spanish. His last book All about Powerboats was published by International Marine in the spring of 2002. He has another book Rough Weather Seamanship due in the fall of 2003 and is currently working on a new book, Elements of Powerboat Design for International Marine. But writing is only a small part of Marshall’s talents. He is also a designer of boats, both power and sail. After completing a program in small craft design at Southampton College in England, Marshall, who still holds a British passport, moved to the United States in 1973 to take a position at Sparkman & Stephens, Inc. in New York. He worked there as a designer for nearly 5 years and then left to establish his own yacht design studio in Jamestown, Rhode Island. As an independent designer he has designed a wide range of boats and was project engineer for the Courageous Challenge for the 1987 America’s Cup campaign in Australia. In 1999 one of his cruising yacht designs was selected for inclusion in Ocean Cruising magazine’s American Yacht Review.

  • P-COMPACT GROUPS
    HOMOTOPY TYPE AND v1-PERIODIC HOMOTOPY GROUPS OF p-COMPACT GROUPS DONALD M. DAVIS Abstract. We determine the v1-periodic homotopy groups of all irreducible p-compact groups. In the most difficult, modular, cases, we follow a direct path from their associated invariant polynomi- als to these homotopy groups. We show that, with several ex- ceptions, every irreducible p-compact group is a product of ex- plicit spherically-resolved spaces which occur also as factors of p- completed Lie groups. 1. Introduction In [4] and [3], the classification of irreducible p-compact groups was completed. This family of spaces extends the family of (p-completions of) compact simple Lie ¡1 groups. The v1-periodic homotopy groups of any space X, denoted v1 ¼¤(X)(p), are a localization of the portion of the homotopy groups detected by K-theory; they were defined in [20]. In [17] and [16], the author completed the determination of the v1- periodic homotopy groups of all compact simple Lie groups. Here we do the same for all the remaining irreducible p-compact groups.1 Recall that a p-compact group ([22]) is a pair (BX; X) such that BX is p-complete ¤ and X = ΩBX with H (X; Fp) finite. Thus BX determines X and contains more structure than does X. The homotopy type and homotopy groups of X do not take into account this extra structure nor the group structure on X.

  • Number Theory with Cryptography
    AN INTRODUCTION TO Number Theory with Cryptography James S. Kraft Gilman School Baltimore, Maryland, USA Lawrence C. Washington University of Maryland College Park, Maryland, USA K21751_FM.indd 3 8/5/13 5:00 PM Preface Number theory has a rich history. For many years it was one of the purest areas of pure mathematics, studied because of the intellec- tual fascination with properties of integers. More recently, it has been an area that also has important applications to subjects such as cryptography. The goal of this book is to present both sides of the picture, giving a selection of topics that we find exciting. The book is designed to be used at several levels. It should fit well with an undergraduate course in number theory, but the book has also been used in a course for advanced high school students. It could also be used for independent study. We have included several topics beyond the standard ones covered in classes in order to open up new vistas to interested students. The main thing to remember is number theory is supposed to be fun. We hope you enjoy the book. The Chapters. The flowchart (following this preface) gives the dependencies of the chapters. When a section number occurs with an arrow, it means that only that section is needed for the chap- ter at the end of the arrow. For example, only the statement of quadratic reciprocity (Section 9.1) from Chapter 9 is needed in Chapter 10. The core material is Chapters 1, 2, 4, 7, along with Sections 6.1 and 9.1.
